Software Engineer - Cloud Infrastructure & API Design

Location: Kitchener, Ontario, Canada

Department: Engineering

Type: Full Time

Min. Experience: Entry Level

You're a well-rounded software developer who lives outside the box. You get the concept of "move fast and break things", and aren't afraid to make bold decisions or put cutting edge technologies to work in your projects. You have a deep understanding of what it takes to build and scale a high-traffic website. Developing on clustered infrastructure (Openstack / EC2) is second nature to you. Continuous deployment doesn't scare you. Like Etsy, you ascribe to the Church of Graphs and understand the importance of cross-platform metrics.

Experience with the following technologies would be an asset:

Backbone.js or other MVC(esque) web frameworks

Node.js and Ruby

Postgres or other relational databases

Redis or other NoSQL databases

Memcached

Automated testing with Jasmine or similar

Puppet or Chef configuration systems

Interacting with and building APIs

Amazon EC2 and S3

NGINX (Apache would be plus)

HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Git & Github

Linux (particularly Debian)
